The expansion Los Angeles Football Club has reached a multiple-year agreement with YouTube TV in which the subscription-content provider will place its name and logo on the team's jerseys and stream the club's locally televised games in English.
LAFC is thought to be the first professional sports franchise in North America to offer its games on a dedicated streaming channel. Terms of the agreement, which thrusts YouTube TV into the volatile sports-broadcasting business, were not publicly disclosed. A person affiliated with MLS and with knowledge of the situation said it was a three-year deal worth nearly $18 million.
